Changes.

It seems a little crazy to me that 2 months ago my life was completely different than it is now. Two months ago I spent most of my time alone or at school working. I had friends but they were all people I worked with (or Hannah).
In an hour I'm going to be heading to Strive which is a group that a friend and I started for college and 20-somethings. We wanted it to be a place for young people to be able to hang out and become friends and also learn and grow spiritually together. Because of this group, I have people I can call and hang out with "just because."  You know the saying "you never realize what you have until it's gone?" Well, I didn't really realize what I was missing, until I found it again. I missed having friends. Being able to just sit and talk with someone about nothing in particular. I had almost forgotten what it was like to have more than 2 people to call to hang out with. :)

Friends at a "coffee shop." In quotes because it's really more of a restaurant than coffee shop.

Also, I've started volunteering at my church's youth group. It's an interesting mix of people and I forgot what it was like to interact with high schoolers. I also forgot how similar they are to first graders. Seriously!  I guess we never really change, huh?
Moving is difficult. Making new friends is hard. Becoming connected with a new community is challenging.  But God is faithful through it all.

I just like this photo.

To all my friends far away... I miss you. Don't be afraid to call me "just because."
To all my new friends...I'm so glad we are friends. 
And to my old friend, who is still by my side... I don't know what I would do without you.
